I have an EXCEL 2003 worksheet with data in columns A-D. However, there are
four other columns in the worksheet with no data, E, F, G, and H.

When I try to delete or hide columns E-H, EXCEL just makes four new blank
columns, I, J, K, and L.

How do I delete the extra blank columns so that only the four columns that
contain data will appear?
 
You could use the Page Break Preview and then only the columns with data will
show.
 
Select all the columns from E on and right-click a selected column letter and
choose Hide.

Excel always has 256 columns, all you can do is not display them.
